Adeniyi Adebayo, ProctorEdu cofounder demoed the proprietary solution which incorporates facial recognition and behavior analytics to ensure online exam integrity across the entire duration of the exam. “Even though we have a very technical solution, end-users will have minimal to zero interaction with our product ensuring the fidelity of learning management systems and ensuring the accustomed user experience is not disrupted” - explained Adeniyi Adebayo.

ProctorEdu was selected as one of the top-5 startups of the cohort.

A number of one-on-one meetings were held with potential investors and clients. “I think the OIC platform afforded us the opportunity to gauge our readiness for expansion to the Gulf states and Islamic countries.
